Shrek the musical coming

Posted: Thursday, January 5, 2012

Shrek The Musical, sponsored by Beacon Credit Union, will make its way to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on Tuesday, January 17 at 7 p.m.

Based on the Oscar-winning Dreamworks film, Shrek The Musical brings the story of everyone’s favorite ogre to new life on stage. In a far away kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre, not a handsome prince, shows up to rescue a princess. Toss in a donkey that never stops talking, a bad guy with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you have a problem that calls for a real hero. Luckily there is one on hand, and his name is Shrek.

Full of all-new songs, remarkable scenery and dancing, Shrek The Musical is part romance, part fairy tale, and all irreverent fun for everyone. Tickets are $24, $38, and $54, and may be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, by calling (260) 563-1102 or visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.
